  Is there not a way to permanently reverse the posts? If you add the ‘date/reverse order’ URL it is temporary. Wasn’t there at one time a box you could click to ‘show posts in reverse chronological order? It seems like quite a laborious undertaking to reverse the posts.

  Hi @beverlysdiary, it’s a little bit tricky, but you can add a menu link to show your blog posts in reverse. Here’s how:
  https://wordpress.com/support/show-your-posts-in-chronological-order/

  If you want to always feature the first post on a page, you could use the post block to do that:
  https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/blog-posts-block/

  Just select the specific post. Then you could have a button to read more, and have that show the posts in the reverse order, using the method I mentioned above.

  I hope this helps! I’ve also noted this as a feature request. Cheers :)
